Dave, you had me in stitches mate, bin there,

[@RR-mt2wp]

I was glued to the screen hoping it worked for you Dave. It did pal.

[@DavesGarageuk]

Ha ha punny

[@RobertMorton-bg8cl]

Enjoyed this one Dave. Good to see you are human and don’t get it right first time every time. Nice shout out to Russel 👍🏻

[@DavesGarageuk]

Thank you, yes I'm very human, make many mistakes 🤣

[@bandit819]

Tiger seal is great for repairing rubber stuff, it’s flexible and will fill holes. You can also texture it.

[@davepatterson1239]

Try power bond superglue 806 not cheap but sticks anything,,😊

[@micktuck5377]

Two part glue worked well. I used shoe polish on mine. Great cameo from Mrs Dave !

[@DavesGarageuk]

Shoe polish was next on my list 😉

[@brifpot]

good one Dave

[@jimmoore8943]

Dave window fitters use that glue to stick trim on its the nuts

[@superloopy24v]

I was thinking vulcanising rubber cement for puncture repairs, but that two part glue and activator worked well. Nice work again.

[@RichardSibley-n1n]

Lactate make good super glue Dave! 🤣

[@davesadler7103]

Just having a bit of fun with you

[@DavesGarageuk]

Hook line and sinker 🤣

[@richardw3294]

Superglue has a short shelf life check the use by date!

[@stu2427]

Not sure it's that many mk1 around anymore.. For it to work?

[@JohnMCdaid-vy2db]

Clear gorilla glue would work Dave.

[@richardhaynes5922]

nice nails mrs Dave

[@DavesGarageuk]

Mrs Dave appreciated that 😊😊

[@rayh6878]

could have used tyrewall black for the painting

[@aprildangelo7457]

For glueing i use mitre joint super glue and spray activator dries in 10 seconds, myself with the handbrake gaiter best to use rubber patches or old bike tubes glued underneath the splits works very good, even done c.v boots in the past.

[@RichardSibley-n1n]

Loctite!

[@stevehalverson4315]

As for Russel Lord I love his stuff and hate him for the cleanliness of his garage 😝

[@DavesGarageuk]

His garage is very clean 🤣 it's the opposite of mine

[@stevehalverson4315]

@@DavesGarageuk a working garage is a working garage mate yours turns out exactly what he does but without the glamour you do as good as anyone if not better fella 👌🏻

[@Nathanmorganmk1escort]

[@DavesGarageuk]

Brilliant, I may take you up on that 😊

[@micktuck5377]

Will you be selling your Dave’s garage sticks please?

[@DavesGarageuk]

🤣

[@RS-np8cu]

If the rubber is dry and stiff, it can be rejuvenates by boiling it in a large saucepan of water with about 50c of of wintergreen in it for about 30minutes. Do it when the wife is out! Richard

[@DavesGarageuk]

That's interesting, thanks.

[@davesadler7103]

I cant believe you'd spend over a hundred quid on the bezel then glue the boot together!!

[@DavesGarageuk]

New boots not available, if a tidy secondhand one comes along then bingo. It was more about whether it was possible....

[@tho4747]

Chinese quality strikes again. 😂

[@DavesGarageuk]
